I just traded my g35 in on the Buick lacrosse touring. This car is the full package, you don't see it every where because people like myself looked at it like grand pa car. When the dealer showed it to me I was shocked. My 17 teen yr. old son looked at it and said dad you can give me this. I showed him the $40,535 sticker, top of the line car, it and upgraded CTS, that right CTS. When I ride all heads turn, the Lexus, cad, infini , BMW, driving people are looking. My grandmother always said you get a Buick and you got something. She was right then and now.

I bought this car, but the premium 2 model yesterday. I love this car! Has power, comfort, and style. Can't go wrong with this car!

I have a 2012 Buick Lacross cxs and it is my first. I work for a dealership and after road testing a Lexus and then i rode tested the lacross i ended up buying the lacross. On a 10 minute road test with the sales guy my 7yr old fell a sleep in the back seat thats how smooth this car rides, love it!

It has a switch blade key in case the battery in the key dies you can still open the car door. Then the cup holder comes out so you can place the dead key in the ignition spot that they carved out in the center console so you can still start the car with the dead key.

ketasetcook So you can use the key and leave the fob at home? (I hate fobs.)

hmmmmm I believe it's the fob you need to fit the cutout because there is no key hole for the key, you'd need the fob to snap into it's spot to press the start button I believe? lol you might be stuck with the fob

I was gonna get a 2010 Taurus sho but switched up and got this. I love it.

We're in our early 30s and we're about to get a leftover LaCrosse Touring.

Trunk open button was under the Buick logo on the trunklid. Just traded my challenger for one, very very nice car, can already tell it has lowered my blood pressure haha

i've never heard someone say a car has too much chrome. bring back cars from the 50's and 60's!

I loved your review! the heck with the nay sayers. There are always one or two with negative comments. I love this car. I am going on my forth day owning a Lacrosse Premium 3 loaded! I even have the dark tinted windows. One day it rained most the way to Louisiana and back to Texas and it drove like a dream even on wet pavement. I cannot wait for warmer weather to slide my moon roof back and feel the fresh air. Oh yes the Harman Kardon radio and 11 speakers are the best especially with XM clear radio! This car drives so good and the seats are the best for a restful drive.

When my grandpa's 93 camry was in an accident he looked at one of these as his next car and really liked it but didn't want it because he said it made him feel old so he bought another camry.......yay. At least this had some style and freaking luxury the camry just has cheap plastics and the hardest seats I have ever felt!

My mom has a 2013 Lacrosse. I've driven it even though its not the premium. It has crazy power, especially in ESP mode or no traction mode.

This car is dope as hell I love the lacrosse

I was talking about the rev limiter in park or neutral, and I realize the key is there incase the batteries dies, but they should have made it hidden like other smart key remotes. But thats cool that you have this car! It's pretty nice and surprised me

Complain, complain, complain. Why buy the Buick?. I had a 2016 BUICK LACROSSE as a rental and it was great. Just saying

I own a Premium 3. everything but the heads up display. I am telling you I have had it for three days so far and make excuses to go drive it somewhere. The best smoothest car I have ever owned. I am 61 years old. I have stepped on it on the freeway and it will blow the doors off most cars.

So what kind of cars did you drive and aspire to own back in your 20s?

does it have bluetooth audio?

Yeah the key is for if your battery dies you wouldn't be able to unlock or lock so you have to pop off the spot next to the handle underneath pull handle and pry cap off from the underneath

How do you not know the key was for the door to unlock it.

I think there is a button above the license plate for the trunk release

Do you know what they traded it in for?

I think that they gave it the switchblade key incase the fob's battery doesn't work and you need to get in. They did that with the Volt as well.

My guess is the key is to get into the glove...About to pull the trigger on one of these coming out of my 3rd TL even though Acura is giving me a sick deal to make it 4 or an MDX. Highest 2 trims give you magnetic suspension btw.

I've seen his videos plenty of times, hes a year younger than me I believe, He's got his own style and I respect his videos, although I do admit, I have trouble finishing them from start to finish. I try to bring more of my own opinion and taste in my videos to help differentiate them from his, the one thing I cannot stand are the ppl who just copy his style instead of being original

I myself own the 3.6 and it's a dream! Although I don't have a ticking noise from the engine. My only down view in the lacrosse is that you don't have a boot release In the car which I find ridiculous....

Hey... I need that alternator for my 2012 buick lacrosse. Thanks 😂

Oh ok I did not know that. I have seen the corvettes that are like that too. Corvettes usually have all push button things but for the corvette you only have a key for the glovebox and thats pretty much it.

3.6 have timing belt issues mine broke at 30,000 miles

did u film this in pennsylvania?

i'm 19 and i would love to drive one of these around, even if it is a GM

is this car a 6 or the i4

I am 39 and never have been a gm fan, but I am interested in these new Buicks. Maybe I am just getting old. These cars really look nice though.

gauge sweep is very nice in this car! i like how the gauge needles move slowly! lolz

Do you know the name of that song?

haha well everyone is entitled to their opinion, thats why I always say to each their own! The Regal had some decent styling elements in my eyes, I don't mind the exterior as much its just the interior that I dont like. Which Regal do you have? I'd love to test drive a GS but I read a lot of reviews about how disappointing it is.

By the way to open the trunk just stick your fingers next to the rear camera and the trunk will come open. You never use your key fob. You can unlock and lock your doors with a finger touch as well. no key or fob needed in your hand. Just keep the key with you in your pocket.

thumbs up if your getting the white diamond tricoat touring edition lol, that color is the sexiest ive seen on the streets in years, im 31 if im in that younger gen then buick hit it on the head, and if people say i drive an old person car, then i say, so be it lol, i love it, and will get it, just wish it had self parking lol and like a fridge in the back some where lol outside of that perfecto!!!!!!!!!! bravo buick, would have never considered a buick till i saw this baby

Would like to have a car like this. Even though I can't afford a vehicle like this.

No, there's a place for the key. The doors (if your fob doesn't work), the glovebox. Things like that.

The key is so you can get in the car if it is locked and the battery is dead on the key fob or the car.

I have the RL6. Was the highest option package available. The GS wasn't out yet when I bought, and I never got to test one. Everything I read about the GS said it was great; it was the intense performance enthusiasts who were disappointed because it didn't match the performance of the '87 GNX. But it wasn't supposed to. Buick is marketing "responsible performance" as they call it. Still the GS is autobahn tested, and has more horsepower per liter than any other sport sedan on the market.

do you know which engine and trim level it was? I imagine the 4cyl is way worst, this particular one was silent lol

If you're reviewing a Buick you HAVE to know the history a bit! They're the oldest surviving automaker in the world. They don't compete with Ford or Toyota; they don't have any desire to either. They compete with Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, etc (look it up). The fake hood vents are called "portholes" (classic Buick). Chrome is on the car for a reason to separate it from classless cars like Toyota, Ford (the common person's car), and the styling is classic Buick (who always focused on style).

I found the foot wells to be too small, oddly shaped and uncomfortable for such a large car. Very solid overall feel though and sporty for it's size.

I hate that speedometer. Where's things like, oh, 35 or 50? I know that there's a digital read out, but still - do they need to use the biggest typeface they can?

Thank you! let me know if you have any questions or concerns :)

I just bought basically the same car. Only no sunroof and the interior is black

I'm not sure what it is with 41-year-olds and this car, but I've got one too. Same color, with the spoiler, and I've added the ambient interior light kit (footwells and cupholders). I love the refined power and comfort. Funny you were looking for an interior trunk release. My wife looked for it for like 5 minutes before giving up. I was surprised to hear that you were so "surprised" ... you should pay attention to Buick a bit more -- it's definitely not your grandpa's car!!

I couldnt agree with you more!

In my 20's? I remember thinking BMW's were pretty nice. Porsche, too. Back then I couldn't say Acura or Lexus made anything that appealed to me. Nor did Audi (though I like Audi's today).When I was 20 I had an '86 Trans Am. I moved up to a 325i when I was 25. I bought the Regal last year after my wife traded her Lexus GS for the Lacrosse and we love it. Buick carries a long history of being "the doctor's car" -- prestige w/out flaunting it-- and they carry it well, IMO. Couldn't go back to BMW.

Interior looks very rich

This car is Gen X, my mistake, but the Regal and Verono is more toward Gen Y

Also if your key fob battery dies, or loses its transmission it will open up the door and you can reprogram the key fob under the center cup holders, by placing it in position. The dealer should help shed more light or info on this procedure. I alway love to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I mixed up Verona with Verano because there is an 04 Suzuki Verona on the lot haha. They could very well be targeting Gen X, I wouldn't be surprised if they were. And hey, I wasn't dissing your car because I am sure they are very nice. Personally for myself I'd take a TSX over the Regal any day just bc I am not of fan of the chrome everywhere and the over-styled exterior and interior. I do think a lot of their cars are very over-weight as they weigh several hundred more lbs vs the competition.

Thanks, i will! :-)

When I give my opinion, I take into account which market the car is supposed to appeal too, I admit, this Lacrosse may more be in line with the MKS but I feel like Cadillac is more in line with the Lincoln name, Buick in my eyes has been semi-premium, I personally do not think they go with luxury car names but hey everyone has their own taste and opinion.

Lol..open the trunk by unlocking the doors & reach underneath the truck lid mine is a 2011 cxl I am 40yrs old & I love it...its quick safe reliable etc

Thats true. I saw many of these in China

Never thought I'd ever hear Sofyan call a GM product not bad lol. I personally wouldn't buy one of these either, but I do see the appeal, and I think for what the car is, it is a nice car. I'd get something like this over an Avalon, and thats the only real Toyota that I like.. lol

Its for the glove box

Well, as much as I think the Taurus has improved in many aspects, I will say this. The only trim I'd buy would be the SHO. Otherwise, I'd take a LaCrosse any day.

Team Lacrosse

I used to love this car back in ~2010 when it first came out. But for some reason, it's aging fast. The front end is so chunky and quirky looking these days. The mid cycle refresh in 2015 looks better, however. This was also one of the first cars that had ambient lighting fwiw

I think the key is for getting into the car in case something happens.

you need to push and hold the door unlock button. i was trying to open my friends and i had to google it hahahah

Agreed, I won't argue with you that the Taurus has improved. It just doesn't belong in a comparison with anything Buick. No one is cross-shopping the two, and this erroneous review makes it seem like people are. Think of it this way--if you're shopping a Lexus ES, Acura TL, or Infiniti G37, you're likely shopping Lacrosse, too. Same price points, same type of buyer. But you wouldn't shop these and then say "Ok, now let's go slum it over at the Ford dealer so I can try a Taurus." Isn't logical.

Just bought this same car..chose it over the E350 Mercedes

Yeah that is messed up why they would give you a key blade for a car like that that has push button start even if you don't need it if there is no place to insert the key.

this is a beautiful car. I think most people tend to be a little to condescending when reviewing cars like this. not giving credit to the attention to detail and quality, which GM has done with this car. it may not be at the top of its class, but it's definitely competitive. I love it. decent review overall xoquixxoqafxo.

I think we bought the car at auction

Not a bad car. But I wonder what the hell were they thinking when they designed this. They are aiming for the new generation. But the styling still looks old school. Actually the only one I think has gone next generation is the new Buick GS. Though it's expensive as hell. Good video

It is an emergency entry for the door if key fob battery dies. It is for the door.

I don't see why people hate GM's door chime. I hate the one that sounds like the alarm clock beeping. I thing Honda and Nissan use them but im not for sure.

What do you mean the steering wheel feeling good in your hands is unexpected in "this kind of car"? It's a luxurious Buick. What sort of car would you expect that kind of steering wheel to be in?

The guy reviewing is an idiot, and a kid, and has another KZread channel (which sucks), so you have to forgive his ignorance.

Crome is fabulous.. black and chrome is beautiful with this car.. u need a 1999 Neon.. more of your taste

you need the key to open the door form outside is the batterys die haha

@socalguy97 yep, I have seen others and thought they were good but unfortunately he missed the mark on this one.

Definitely go for originality, but what I do like about his videos is that he does all the research before he makes each video. I watch his and feel like I learn something. Opinions are fine so long as they're not one-sided (i.e. all about me and what I like). Kyle gives opinions, but he gives everything a fair shake regardless of brand. Btw, I'd make an addendum to this video--there is no Buick that competes with a Ford; especially the Lacrosse. That's erroneous. Maybe Lincoln, but not Ford.

How much ???

I would like this if the overall look wasn't so Lexus-like. The old Roadmaster based on the Caprice on the 90's is the way to go!

Is that why they released the Regal and Verona? Those cars are targeting the generation Y buyers... which btw, our birth years span from 1983-2001 so some are approaching 30 years old. Buick obviously needs to get our attention if they hope to have a future, sure they have a great past, but they won't survive on the products that were popular with the baby boomers.

You mean the Verano, not the Verona. Do some research on this brand appealing to generation "Y" -- I'm pretty sure that's not their target, but I could be wrong. I own a Regal, my wife owns the car you reviewed (a black CXS 2010), and we're gen x'ers. And I think Buick gets a person's attention as the get older; when I was 20 I didn't aspire to own a Buick. Now I enjoy mine very much, and we'll buy again. I'd still like to know a person born after 1983 that can afford the car you reviewed.

More news for you. The 2012 Lacrosse was just awarded luxury car of the year. lol. I just saw it. Look it up (since you don't consider it luxury) lol.

Dude sounds like Sofyan Bey

trying to '' change their image '' a little to quickly

And push the shifter to the left and it'd a manual trans. You left tht out bro

I rode in a 2011 and wasn't impressed. The interior was loud, the ride wasn't Buick soft, and the interior sounded kind of coarse at around 4-4500 RPM.

my grandma just got this car......the only thing i dont like about it is that everything is so small like sunshade,air vents,full moonroof

Generation Y drivers are the ones who say "supposably"?

Nothing on this car is unexpected either. This is Buick. They pack their cars with luxury and "really nice stuff" as you call it. Always have. As for generation "Y" buyers, I don't know a typical generation "Y" buyer who could afford one. The model you reviewed books for somewhere between $39 and $45. Buick isn't aiming for 20 somethings; they're focusing on the 35 plus crowd. I'm 33 and wouldn't want to be associated with a car that some 20 year old kid drives around. Buick is on top of this.

It got a weed compartment?

Check under cupholders

There's no such term as "semi-premium" or "semi-luxury"--It's entry-luxury. Buick is an entry-luxury brand, just like Acura, Lexus, Infiniti. They're not full fledged luxury brands.Yes,the Verano starts in the 20's, as does the Acura ILX, but they both top out in the $30's. That's a marketing strategy.Remember, Buick never aimed for Gen Y, so they definitely resonate more with Gen X.I have good memories of Buicks from the 80's/90's.I was old enough to remember them new, not used/beaten to death.

haha I still don't know where that damn trunk release was! But I was surprised bc its a much better car than older Buicks. I'd say most ppl in the baby boomer age group will like it, however, they need to do more if they want to attract the "Generation Y" group bc I would still never buy one lol

Buick is going for what Oldsmobile used to be: more of a sport luxury with all of the tech features.

hers

I'm 43, and getting one. LOL.

You don't get it. lol I know the Taurus quite well. Look anywhere and you'll find the 2013 competition to be the Camry, Accord, Mazda 6, Impala, Charger, 300 (base)--basically a car anyone could own with an MSRP starting around $24K. Dress one up in SHO trim, it's still not Lincoln, Lexus or Buick. But Ford in general? Never competed with Buick, and by their own admission are not luxury vehicles. Ford is about as blue collar American and as apple pie a brand as can be had.
